The Effect of Epogen and Venofer Dosing Management on Hemoglobin Stability
Hypothesis: Routine clinical tests with feedback control based Epogen(Epo)/Venofer(Iron) protocol will improve Hemoglobin (Hgb) stability and increase the time that patients remain in target
Objectives:
- Decreased variability of Hgb
- Increase the % of patients in target range c Increase in time that Hgb remains target range

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Study Design One dialysis unit shift comprising up to 200 patients. Study participation will last for 12 months broken into 3 phases as described below.
Phase 1 (1-3 months): Develop individualized patient models and Anemia Management Protocols (AMP) while patients are receiving standard medical care.
Phase 2 (9 months): Individualized AMP study period. Phase 3 (9 months): Follow up period: return to standard-care AMP.
The individual AMP will be utilized weekly during the 9 months of Phase 2.
The 3 objectives will be evaluated and updated weekly, Baseline to Year 1.
All Epo dosing recommendations must be reviewed by the treating physician who can either accept or modify doses at his/her discretion based on clinical event that are not includes in the transmitted data such as bleeding, infection, and hospitalization.
